There has been element OF character dis
played among the people everywhere on
our travel. which has been universal, and
not disturbed or changed by any difference
in place or circumstance. No state lines
have clrcumscribed, no local pride has ii.
minished ard no business activity has in
the least stifled the kindness and coroiality
of the peoples welcome. There is
bitterness enough in the part isan
feeling which seems ineeparable
from our political methods; but the good
people ofsthe United States have, believe,
1ecreed that there are occasions when this
shall have no place. cannot forget my
interest in municipal affairs, arising from
an active Experience at one time in city
government; and found myself very much
inclined to scrntinize such statements
| as fall under my eye demonstrating their
financial condition. With all it's exten-
sive public improvements. unless 1 I'M
much at fault, the city Of Milwaukee hiss
less OF public debt than any of it's popu-
! lation in the Unite,l States excepting one.
In these days, when the tempta ton to le-
cal public extravaganza is not ofte n
emo, gh withstOod. you may well be proud
OF this exhibit. and besides the satisfac-
tinn which this financial condition pre-
duces has practical side to it. Large err
terprisea are often much influenced in the r
location bv such &C nsideration, and they
are .lpt to be established where the burtstn
, of texstion is the .least and where the
share Of puolic indebtedness to be born by
them is the smallest.

r. g. Dun & Co. g Weekly Review says;
The quarterly statement OF failures shows
that the past disturbance has been more
serious than many realized. The average

$500 per 500 for, the quarter. They
were $97.46 in the second quarter of 1884,

Heroic War Correspondents.

When Picton's body was found after
Waterloo it was found he had been
concealing a severe wound he had re-
celved at Quatre Bras. But L knew n
shabby little Russian correspondent,
who, with bullet-hole in his thigh,
kept the field and did his work through
fortnight of the Servian campaign of
1876, till he was finally killed in front
of a battery above Alexinatz. ST. Leger
Herbert, sore wounded when rid lng
with Herbert Stewart in the cavalry
charge of FL Teb, dictated long and
brilliant telegram to the Times while
lying on his back waiting for his turn
of the surgeon. Just before the Russo
Turk sh war formally opened Mac
Gahan had his ankle-bone broken by a
fall from his horse. When L first met
him, as the campaign was opening, he
was limping about with the limb III
closed in plaster of paris. But never
for moment did he regard himself IN
the least incapacitated by an injury
which would have invalided eleven out
of twelve men In the face of my pro-
tests he accompanied Gourko's adyen-
turous raid across the Balkans soon
after the crossing of the Danube. In
the passage through the narrow defile
of the Hankioi pass his horse slid over
h precipice, and in the fell MacGahan's
half-set bone was broken again. But
the gallant American disdained to be
invaded by this misfortune. He could
ride no more, but he quietly babe them
heave him up on tumbril and so
went through the whole adventurous
expedition, being involved in several
actions. more than once all but falling
into the hands of the Turks, yet never
for an hour-in pain, with uncared-for
hurt, and inability to do anything for
himself-neglecting the duty which he
owed to his newspaper.-Se!Ps Die

Artificial Climate.

In the belief that modern science can
command climate, DR.. b. w. Richard
son proposes that British invalids be
given in their native isles the winter
advantages of tropical resorts. This
he would accomplish by establishing
winter homes, or health palaces, each
containing fifty or more comfortable
two-story houses, inclosing a large
square of ornamental grounds, and
provided with braries, baths, gymns-
STA, amusement halls, etc. lower
lined galleries, giving long promenades,
would extend over the houses under
glass roofs, while the central inclosure
would be shut in by an immense arch
of glass at great height above the
ground. Suitable heating and venti-
lating apparatus would give an equable
and adjustable temperature to all parts
of the structures, and any desired char
acter might be impaired to the climate.
Even cloudy days need not be known,
as electric suns could be made to shine
at pleasure. In many places winter
resorts on grander scale might be
created by putting whole valleys under
roofs of glass, forming parks of constant
beauty and healthfulness. -Amerita an

A close observer of human nature re-

Dear friends, / shall embark my ex-

counselor, in the middle of an affecting
appeal in court on a SANDER suit,

THE term incandescent, so much used
at present, ind Gates a white heat, or
the glowing Wilderness of body caus-
ed by intense heat. The little glass
bulbs, remarks a writer on this subject,
with their brilliant horseshoe of glow
ing filament, attracts no more attention
than the Pickering gas Jet. But the
facts about the gas jet are, unlike those
of the electric lamp, easily and gener-
ally understood. Both produce light
10y incandescence, the molecules of gas
being rendered incandescent by the
heat generated by the combustion
of other molecules. The blue por-
ton of every gas flame is where COM
bustion is taking place, and from there
comes the heat which keeps the rest in
state of incandescence. With the
electric lamp, it is the heat produced
by the friction of an electric current
compelled to go through a fine carbon
filament. which raises that filament to
q condition of incandesence, which pro-
duces light.

Story Of n MeteOrite.

A meteorite was presented to me by
Sr. Jose A. y Bonilla, director profess
sor of the Zacatecas Observatory, who
received it, five days after its fall, from
the ranchman who saw it descend from
the heavens. This ranchman related
the strange occurrence as follows
translated from the SPANISH:
1T was about o'clock atsnight when
/ went out to the corral to feed certain
horses; suddenly 1 heard loud siz-
zing noise, exactly as though something
red-hot was being plunged into cold
water, and almost instantly there fol-
lowed a somewhat loud thud. At once
the corral was covered with phos-
phorescent light, while suspended in
the air were small luminous sparks as
though from a rocket. l had not re-
covered from my surprise before | saw
this luminous air disappear, and there
remained on the ground only such a
light as is made when match is
rubbed. A number of people came
running toward me from the neighbor-
ing houses, and they assisted me in
quieting the horses, which had become
very much excited. We all asked each
OIncE WndO COllu Us bllS anu
we were afraid to walk in the corral
for fear of being burned. When, in a
few moments, we had recovered from
our fright, we saw the light disappear,
and, bringing lanterns to look for the
cause, we found hole in the ground
and in it ball of light. We retired to
a distance, fearing it would explode
and harm us. Looking up to the sky,
we saw from time TO time exhalations
or stars, which soon went olt without
a noise. We returned after little and
found in the hole a hot stone, which
we could barely handle, this on the
next day, we saw, looked like piece
of iron. All night it rained stars, but
we saw none fall to the ground, as they
all seemed to be extinguished while
yet very high up."-The Century.

There are very few men who do not pride

unless it be kept always perfectly clean 1t

Flags.

The three lions passant gardant in
the first quarter for England are clear
", two of them. the lions of the Con-
queror. Two lions only, in that fierce
posture, indicate the shield, or flag, if
we had one, of the years 1066 to 1154,
when Henry H., who had married
Eleanor in 1l61 and came to the throne
in 1854, added the lion of Guienne and
Aquitaine to his paternal two, where
they hourished their paws, like animal
Savers, from 1854 to 1899. In 1899
Edward /. married Margaret of France,
and with his three lions quartered her
paternal arms of "azure, semee de
fleur-de-lys, or, for which field semee
Charles VI. of France in 1850 substi-
tuted the three lilies only, adopted by
our Henry V. on his accession to the
throne and placed in the first or hon.
orable quarter, where they long re-
NAMED. So the shield stood, so far as
we know, with but slight variation, till
the reign of James l., when the lion of
peared, to which, in 1859, were added
the arms of Nassau for William and
Mary. In 1900 England and Ireland
were united, the feur-de-lys relin-
ouished, and the Hsnoverian arms,
since IVA quartered, were placed on a
shield of pretense, where they re-
NAMED till 1887, when they were alto
